In May, Energocom will procure 92% of its electricity needs from MGRS
In May, Energocom Joint Stock Company will procure 92 percent of its electricity needs from the Moldovan Thermal Power Plant in the Transnistrian Region (MGRES), which will supply the right bank next month with 290 thousand megawatt hours at a price of $66 per megawatt hour, almost 10 percent less than in the last four months. The tariff was agreed last month for half a year ahead.
According to Energocom, the rest of the electricity will be purchased from Ukrhidroenergo, a preliminary total volume of 30 thousand megawatt hours. The price for daytime hours is $95 per megawatt hour, and for nighttime - $55. The company notes that this is the first contract signed by Energocom, which has separate prices for day and night hours.
Next month, the Romanian company Nuclearelectrica has scheduled maintenance work and will not deliver electricity. For April, the equivalent of 5.5% of requirements was to be procured from this company at a price of 450 roni, or about €91.
Energocom can buy on the Romanian stock exchange OPCOM at peak times if necessary.
At present, the entire volume of gas supplied by Gazprom is supplied to the Transnistrian region, while the power plant supplies the right bank of the Dniester with electricity.
